Virgin Suicides

After reading the NPR article on line, I feel as if the book is almost fantasy.  Though I do not know what being a teenage girl is like, and will never, I feel as if it is what most people think of it as. Minus the suicide of course.  The romance and conflict between the girls and boys reflect expectations that people expect adolescents to act like. We all know in most cases this isn't true.  Reading a girl's perspective of this book just verifies that only certain individuals act this way, like Cecelia.
